    "When death comes to test me, I welcome it with open arms. For I am a man that fears no challenge."

    Welcome to the Carnival of Death 2020! From the 25th of March to the the end of the month (1 week) we all play TAP's T.A.DEATH mode and post our best games along the way. Whether you're a TGM veteran or new to the series as a whole, do join in! Everyone can contribute to the Death Toll regardless of skill.

    How do I join in?
    Simple. Just grab your TAP (Tetris the Absolute - The Grand Master 2 PLUS) PCB, emulator or TGM clone (assuming it follows the same ruleset) on the T.A.DEATH mode, you die, you post your best score here. As you post better and better games, your progress will be updated on Death Toll.

    Edit: Apologies for having no sound; a recent OBS update reset my sound settings. I'll be sure to fix that for any other submissions I make.

    Also, just for transparency, this run was done on MAME emulation.

  8. Got myself a GM in 6:23.96. I left the game before it in as well because it was a 3:24:75 torikan break.



    It's played on MAME, correct version running at 61.whatever. I might try to better it, but maybe not. It depends how many other GM games get submitted. I'm happy being behind MHL.

  9. Jeez that was a pretty clutch GM, too. Very close to topping out right there.

  12. What happened right around 890 was I started getting ahead of myself, thinking it could be a GM, and then the mistakes start rolling in, I lost the "in the moment" for a little bit, and had to get it back quickly, otherwise it wouldn't have been. Controlling those kind of thoughts are important! And controlling the other things, like excitement/nerves, the heart rate, and breathing is all important as well!

  16. I got a new death PB with a 190 at 1:57:98 on Shiromino!! I’m really excited with this because my old Pb was a 136. So big improvement and I could see myself possibly breaking the 300 barrier in the near future

    Edit: I had a 1256 10 game series
